Hog- COOKING-STOVE.

To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, PETER PARADIS, of the city of Rochester, in thecounty of Monroe, State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Wood CookingeStoves, having elevated ovens; and I dohereby declare that'the. following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,making part otthis specification, in which- Figure l is a sectionalview, from the front to rear, of the stove through the hollow ribs ordog.

Figure 2 is"a sectional view through the front of v elevated oven,indicated-in fig. l by a red line, and showing the arrangement of thelire-dues.

Y Figure 3 is a to`p view ofthe elevated oven without the top case.

Like letters indicate corresponding part-s.

My invention relates tothat class ot' cook-stoves in which air is takenin under or at the tire-box and is heated and conveyed through linesprovided for that purpose, into the oven; and

The invention consists in a peculiar manner of constructing andarranging the tlues for heating and con veying the air; and also in anovel methodofarranging plates in the smoke and heat-passages around theoven. i

To enable others to make and use my invention, I will describe itsconstruction and operation.

On the inside of the plate forming the bottom of the tire-box of' woodcpoking-stovcs, I make one or more ribs, a, which are hollow, and extendback to the airchamber b, which is formed by making a. double back tothe tire-box.

On the outer endrof said ribs, I cast a projection, O, suciently high tokeep the wood from falling forward and out ofthe front doors.

On the out-side of the bottom plate of' the lire-box, and over thespaces formed by the hollow ribs, I fasten a plate of iron, with one ormore holes, H, corresponding with the spaces in the hollow rihsHor dogs,to admit cold air. i

These ribs are thus used for the double purpose of dogs to hold thewood, and to form passages for the air to enter the air-chamber b, inrear of the tire-box.

I then, on each side of the part ot' the stove in rear of the tire-box,form hot-air tlues, m m, by making the sides double, extending from theair-chamber I) back as far as the elevated oven G2.

They are then turned up, as shown in Iig. l at I), until they extendthrough the lower plate ofthe oven, which is provided with holes forthe.xeception of said i'lues.

Through the upper part of the sides of the oven, I provide holes, p17,-to allow the air to enter the exittlues, whereby a thoroughcirculation is obtained through the entire length of the ues formed bythe hollow ribs ordogs a, air-chamber b, and `fines m m, into the ovenC2 and exit-holes p p.

The elevated oven C2 is provided with due-plates, I I, between theoutside case and the oven.

.In ii'ontthey are joined together at the top, near the centre of theoven, diverging toward the bottom, leaving sufficient space between thelower corner of the oven and the plates to allow the heat from the re'box to ascend.

Similar plates are provided for the rear of the oven, with the exceptionthat they are not joined together at the top, but are let't apart andprovided with a` damper, K, to change the direction of the heatfrom thetire-box, and extend upward to the lower side of the top covering.

On the front side of the top ofthe oven, I also place a plate, G,between the outside case and the oven, but not extending the full lengthofthe oven.

On the back of the top of the oven, I also put plates of iron, S S,between the outside cover andthe oven, extending from the flue-plates IzI2 toward butnot quite to the ends of the oventhns leaving passages forthe heat from the tire-box, as shown in tig. 3.

The operation of these improvements is such, that as the cold air entersthe holes at the bottom cf the tire-box, it passes through the hollowribs or dogs a into the air-,chamber 1g, and is heated, thence along theair-fines m lm, acquiring a greater heat before it enters the elevatedoven C, thence into the exit-fines.

The arrangement of the plates' l I, G, and S S is for the purpose offorming afhot-airchamber on the sides of the oven, and distributing theheat more equally' over it, and at the same time making selfjcleaningtlues.

The fire plates in front being joined at the top and diverging towardthe bottom, leave no projection for soot and ashes to lodge, and in therear the operating the damper effects the same results, and theyfallbelow the oven, and are easily removed. i t

1 As the heat passes from the tire-box it is arrested by theliuc-platesl I and damper K, and caused t0 return to the lower fourcorners of the oven. Then, as it arises, it is again arrested by theflue-plates G and S S, and caused to return to the four upper corners;thence it passes over the oven into the exit-dues.

By the arrangement ofthe hollow ribs answering the double purpose ofair-passages, and dogs holding the wood, they are not so apt to burnout, which is the case in stoves having solid dogs, which have to bereplaced at short intervals.

I lalso obtain greater heating-surface for the air as it passes into theoven.

By placing the conducting-dues from the air-chamber to the oven ou thesides, I gain the object of having a clear, open space for the draughtofthe fire, and

V.also the. great desideratum of having the hot air 'enter 'that itcomes in Contact with all its parts, and forms self-cleaning fines.

I am aware that stoves have .heretofore been made in which fines wereprovided 'for heating and conveying air to the oven, and therefore Iv donot claim,

broadly, n stove having these features, irrespective of its specialconstruction; but, having fullydescribedmy improved stove,

What I claim, isv 1. A cook-stove, having the hollow .ribs a, with theinlet-passage H, chamber b, and` the side iues m, with pipes D,connecting said fines with the oven, all constructed and arranged tooperate substantially as.

shown and described. 2. The arrangement, within the smoke-ihres` of theoven, of the front inclined plates I, with the detiectng` plate G at thetop, the rear inclined plantes I2, with the valve K, anddetieotng-plates S, es herein set forth.
